Need Chev dealer info

**Bill Rose** · #1 01-26-2009, 05:33 PM

I'm trying to find the address/info of the original dealer my ElCamino was delivered to. That section of the build sheet is stained and hard to see. The dealer is in California, and called Community Chevrolet. I can also make out East Olive, but I think that was the street it was on, although that could be the city? From what I've been able to learn, they are no longer in business. I tried to Google it, but came up empty. There's a Community Chev dealer in Burbank, but I don't think thats the one. Do any of you west coasters remember Community Chevrolet?? What town was it in/What street was it on... Thanks BR

EDit: Now I'm wondering if the one in Burbank is the right one. Does anyone know if Community Chev used to be on East Olive, and moved to West Olive at some point?

Bill,

Community Chevrolet is still in Burbank and has been there for many years and I believe it's the correct dealer.

I can't think of another Chevy Dealer in SoCal with the same name on Olive. They do have several buildings on Olive, maybe where it was delivered to was east Olive.

Good Luck,

BR

Bill, check out this patch on e-bay. (Item number: 330193082404) It is a Community Chevy Patch.. Would look cool displayed with your car!!

Bill, also found a plate frame to go with the car on e-bay also.. It says Burbank on the plate frame and the frame is definately old stock from possibly the 60s or 70s... (Item number: 350143349989)....

Bill
Community Chevrolet was/is a popular name.
I have seen them in Nevada,Illinois,Virginia,Ohio & Calif.
I acquired a box of Community cloth patches fron the one here on Ogden ave. awhile ago,identical to the one you just won on eBay.
Two very nice items none the less.

Glad you bought that stuff Bill.. I always get excited when I find old dealership memorabilia from where my car was from.. I like to find stuff for my friends also. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning!!
